Answer:

As far as I can tell there aren't any guide lines on how a church is to collect money. There are guide lines on how the church (the body of beleivers) is to give. The technique is not important. The condition of the heart of the giver is. The Old Testament we are taught to give 10 percent of your income but in the New Testament there is not a percentage given. However, the New Testament teaches that It all belongs to God and that We need to be a cheerful giver (2 Cor. 9:7). I beleive that we need to give that according to what God lays on our heart to give. When you look at the parable of the talents, you find the good steward is the one who is blessed. You have to be led by the Spirit in order to be a good steward for apart from Christ we can do nothing (Gal. 2:20).
